First, we hope that microlearning as a buzzphrase disappears. We’d prefer folks think about performance support as a solution, and spaced learning as a different solution, both with their unique opportunities and rationales. At one level, of course, you’re talking about the same thing: the contextually-relevant delivery of a small amount of content. In one, however, the context is what people are doing, and there aren’t entailments between elements of the content. In the other, the context is about time and there are definite entailments. We don’t yet know of a platform that elegantly does both.
